Step-by-step explanation:

When you look at the question, the word "Inuit" gives you a hint. The word Inuit means a group of indigenous people from places like Greenland, Alaska, and parts of Northern Canada.

Knowing what the word Inuit means, you can see now the question is asking you what was a major change that applied to the Inuit people in the 20th century.

D would be the correct answer because in the 20th century, there was a major change that allowed Inuit people to get jobs in trading, and jobs in the government, which gave them a chance to get jobs at support their needs. It was a big advantage for them since it was hard to find a job in the U.S, so it gave them an opportunity to get a job, in other words, more job opportunities.

Why the other answer choices are wrong:

A is INCORRECT because there was no complete extinction of hunting grounds, during the 20th century, there were still hunting grounds for the Inuit to hunt in.

B is INCORRECT because the government didn't persecute any Inuit's out of the control, if they did, the percent wouldn't be that high.

C is INCORRECT because Inuits were around the U.S, it was a change that allowed Inuit's to get in a place with better climate, or weather, but that is not the major change for the Inuits.
